Description
Stuck in a small town, and worried over by his chain-smoking, Bible-quoting single mother, John longs for escape. When the charismatic James arrives in town, John's life suddenly fills with possibilities - both welcome and not. But soon he can no longer ignore his mother's ever-worsening health, and John is faced with a terrible dilemma. Brilliantly evoking all the frustrations and pent-up energy of adolescence, it also gradually becomes the story of his mother herself, and the secrets of her past. Suffused with eerie imagery, black humour and hypnotic prose, John the Revelator is a novel to fall in love with.
